JAMMU, Dec 13: While condemning the killing of a Sarpanch in Sopore area of Baramulla district of Kashmir valley on Friday night, All Jammu and Kashmir Panchayat Conference Chairman, Shafiq Mir has said that militants and other anti-democratic forces must read the writings on wall and shun the path of violence against the people of the State having opposite ideology.
In his reaction, Shafiq Mir said that the militants got frustrated after the successful conduct of ongoing Assembly elections in the State and they have started targeting the basic pillars of democracy in the State.
It is pertinent to mention here that two Sarpanchs have been killed in the State during the ongoing Assembly elections. Earlier, a week ago, a Sarpanch namely Mohammad Sultan was killed in Shopian area South Kashmir and in latest incident one more Sarpanch namely Ghulam Mohammad Mir (62) has been killed by the militants during the ensuing night of Friday and Saturday.
“They (militants) should realize that the people of the State have rejected their ideology and have proven their full faith in the democratic system. We will not let them to kill our leaders any more we will raise a banner of revolt against them soon if they didn’t stop attacks on our leaders”, said Mir.
Holding the Central Government of India equally responsible for these killings, Shafiq Mir said that the present BJP Government seems least concerned about the safety of Panchayat leaders of the State of Jammu and Kashmir.
